    ENTRE EL ETNOCIDIO Y LA EXTINCION PUEBLOS INDIGENAS aislados, EN CONTACTO INICIAL E INTERMITENTE EN las TIERRAS BAJAS DE BOLIVIA Entre el etnocidio y la extinción: Pueblos indígenas aislados, en contacto inicial e intermitente en las tierras bajas de Bolivia, cuya autoría corresponde al antropólogo Carlos Camacho Nassar es un libro con doble mérito. Primero, es un aporte muy serio y metódico para mostrar la realidad vigente en Bolivia de la problemática que involucra a los grupos indígenas más vulnerables del país, aquellos que han sobrevivido al genocidio histórico que acarreó, sobre todo, la explotación masiva del caucho entre 1880 y 1914. Es también, y ésta tal vez sea la virtud mayor, un libro que aparece en el momento justo, donde la urgencia de denunciar la siempre crítica situación de los Pueblos Indígenas Aislados y la necesidad imperiosa de preservar sus derechos, como indígenas y como humanos, se tensionan de manera dramática, como en el pasado, con los afanes de penetración en las selvas de las empresas trasnacionales y las acciones que conllevan las políticas neo extractivistas. Frente a lo que está pasando, la lectura de este libro puede abrir corazones y conciencias. Y ya que el único camino para proteger a estos pueblos es el compromiso militante, activo y per- manente en defensa de sus derechos, su lectura no sólo se vuelve necesaria sino urgente, ya que hay que actuar ahora, antes de que sea demasiado tarde y los últimos pueblos libres desaparezcan irreparablemente de las profundidades de los bosques que han sido su hogar

  • Traveling in High Altitudes
    Traveling in High Altitude Product of the Research & Information Support Center (RISC) The following is based on open-source reporting. Summary In mid-July, an experienced American mountaineer, athlete, and physician, Andy Zimet, was found dead alone on Lenin Peak (23,406 feet above sea level) in the Pamir Mountains of Kyrgyzstan. With no discernable trauma or evidence of foul play, authorities believe he died of altitude sickness. “High altitude" generally describes locations 8,000 feet above sea level and higher; however, altitude sickness can impact anyone traveling from one altitude to a notably higher one. Awareness is necessary because at this elevation oxygen levels are lower and can cause difficulties for travelers. As you increase in altitude, there is less oxygen and water in the air. Many higher-altitude tourist destinations, particularly those for trekking and adventure sports, are remote and may lack access to medical care. What is Altitude Sickness? According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), altitude sickness (also called Acute Mountain Sickness or AMS) is often compared to an alcohol hangover with accompanying headache, tiredness, lack of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Usually, symptoms tend to appear 2-3 days after arrival at high altitude destinations. Mild cases can often be treated with over-the-counter painkillers or anti- inflammatories. However, severe, albeit rare, reactions include the swelling of the brain (high-altitude cerebral edema) and lungs (high-altitude pulmonary edema), for which a person should descend to a lower altitude immediately. Descent is the primary treatment for most altitude sickness. Where is it? Although travel to destinations above 8,000 feet (approx.

    Apuntes 83, 200-202 © Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Apuntes 83 (2018). doi: https://doi.org/10.21678/apuntes.83.923 HIATT, Willie, 2016, The Rarefied Air of the Modern: Airplanes and Technological Modernity in the Andes, Nueva York, Oxford University Press. xi + 229 pp. In The Rarefied Air of the Modern, Willie Hiatt offers a detailed history of how Peruvians interpreted aviation and integrated aviation technology. Written in very lucid prose, the book is also a broad history of Peru in the first half of the 20th century seen through the lens of technology and modernity. In the first chapter, Hiatt describes how aviation arrived in Peru thanks to the efforts of Jorge Chávez, who was born in Paris. In the decades after the triumph of Chile in the War of the Pacific, many Peruvians searched for a way to improve the future of the country and, in a sense, aviation fulfilled this longed-for goal. Chávez was winning competitions in Europe, and although he died soon after a flight from Cuzco to Puno in 1910, many thought of him as a “source of authenticity and vitality” (p. 24) for Peru. Although the initial drive toward a culture of aviation came from the Lima elite, Hiatt demonstrates that other social classes also celebrated aviation, as happened with the huge welcome accorded the pilot Juan Bielovucic when his ship docked in Callao in 1911. However, with Bielovucic’s crash in April 1911, aviation in Peru declined. For example, it became difficult for the Peruvian Aviation League (Liga Peru- ana Pro Aviación) to maintain its discourse since there were no “airplanes, spare parts, or flight instructors” (p.

The Tacana have a long tradition of exchange with highland communities.
